hi Chris,
it’s both a moire issue and a blinking in lighter areas… and,as you say, i also think it’s a problem of slow clips… thankyou anyway…

Gary, unfortunately exporting with Lower Field gives a worse result 🙁 much more flicker then before.

Does anybody have suggestions to reduce that annoying frying on those lighter areas of my movie?

thanks for your answer Gary!
i’ll give a try but… at the moment it has upper field setting and since it’s an HD video i thought it was correct… anyway, i’ll try to change it…

Great!!!
then i’ll try h264 encoding next time…
thanks again

Daniel, thanks a lot for your kind answer.

I’ve solved that artifact problem… it was just because an incorrect setting of the LCD display :p

Last thing.. i export from FCP a self contained Quicktime movie with the same setting of the timeline (DVCPRO HD 1080i50) ; i bring it directly into Encore CS4 and set Bluray transocoding to 1440x1080i (since this is the frame size of my FCP timeline) and 35Mbps CBR. I made a test and it look fine now but.. do you think i must/can change something to improve my final BD quality? You talked about H264.. but i heard (here in italy, for our BD DVD player) that H264 may result not fully compatible…
Do you think it’s better to set BD transcoding to 1920x1080i ? and what about the CBR? can i take it to 40 or it’s to much and may cause some problems during playback. I’d prefer CBR to maintain the maximum quality (my movie is only 20 minutes long and so i don’t have space problems…)

thanks again 😉

anyway… it sounds strange that 1280×1080 you say… i’ve recorded in PAL HD 1080i50 and normally, when i edit that material in FCP it appears to be 1440×1080 anamorphic upper field, so my sequence should be right for pana201 material but, since i’ve included some canon 7D clips (prores and progressive) i’m afraid it’s not a right output setting for the final destination (encore project where i want to use 1440×1080 25fps CBR32)

i’ve tried the way i’ve described above but, when i play the bluray (with a desktop bluray dvd player on a LG HD TV) i notice that artifact of the interlaced videos except for the few canon 7D clips.
so i think it’s necessary to export from FCP a progressive movie but.. which way? do i have to modify my sequence field dominance from upper to none? or change the quicktime video setting for the output compression? which one should i use?

hi Michael,
ok i’ll set my FCP Sequence frame size to HD 1280×1080 16/9 and pixel aspect HD 1280×1080 and… Quicktime Video Setting ??

ok for ProRes not HQ.. understood

then, after rendered the mov with FCP, i’ll import it into Encore and… how do i have to set the transcoding for bluray to get a good quality output?

thanks again

one more question…
i’ve been given an advice to author the blu-ray dvd for viewing in Argentina in NTSC mode.
I can choose NTSC 1920×1080 but which frame rate should i use since my source is italian PAL HD 1920×1080 25 fps ???
